Notes:
Slightly more fully in
Zenobius 4.72. The only attested Keuthonymos -- Kythonymos in
Zenobius, and cf.
Hesychius kappa4448, but apparently lower-case there -- is the father of the herdsman Menoites in the myth of Heracles' Labours, but nothing is known of E. himself; hence the struggle, here, to interpret the proverb.
[1] This attempt at explanation is etymological; cf. generally
kappa 1435,
kappa 1436,
kappa 1438.
